my ex was busted for running a meth lab.my name is on the lease butI moved out should I be worried?
I was aware of the extent of the drug use, but the manufacturing end was not going on in the house when I lived there. I had a feeling he ws making meth in the workshop behind the house for his own personal use. I moved out of the house after he started having eratict and self destructive behavior.Unfortunitly I only left with some of my clothes and other small personal effects, leaving behind all of my furniture.Know I do not know what what to do should Icontact a defense attorney or the state attorney?Should I try and contact my ex and find out what is going on with the house or stay far from him?
Stay far away from him and contact a lawyer immediately. Be 100% with your lawyer and he/she will be able to best represent you. You may be in some serious trouble because you knew he was manufacturing metch before you left and did not contact the authorities.
stay away from him and the home. Contact a lawyer. Chances are they will come to you for questioning since your stuff is still in the house. this is serious stuff.. make sure you stay away from guys like these..not worth it…
Most states have a seizure policy in regards to drugs. On the positive if you are not the landowner you are ok although depending on what the lease says you could be in some trouble. If the lease says you assume responsibility for what happens on the property the land owner and courts can hold you responsible even if you were unaware.
Contact an attorney who is liscensed in your state and be 100% honest, law enforcement might be willing to let you slide for your testimony.
Talk to a lawyer. You would be in a much better position if it had been you to inform the police about what was going on, so then you would be a witness and not a suspect. Since it is too late for that, you need to talk to an attorney about coming forward and testifying as to what you know, because if you do not and they learn you lived there, they may try to charge you. Then instead of being seen as an innocent witness trying to do the right thing, they will see you as an accomplice trying to help him hide his guilt, or at least trying to hide your own involvement. Definately contact a lawyer FIRST though, as if you say the wrong thing without a lawyer, they can use it against you.

Call the local police department and tell the you want them to conduct a civil standby so you can go pick up your stuff. Have your keys, an adequate moving truck and plenty of help so you can get everything all at once and quickly.
